I hear you.
Why do I find it somewhat humorous that people are just now figuring out that talking to Vince on the phone was not a good idea? I could swear I'd been saying that very thing for years.
Since 1998 I've been telling people that calling the company is a very poor idea, but they never seem to learn until it's too late.
Companies should make ALL of their communications with investors public, through SEC filings, press releases, and information provided on their websites.
Unsurprising. He did it all wrong.

Randy--
Maybe Janice has posted her opinion of slurpys role before but I don't recall seeing it. I would be interested in what she thinks...Janice??
Like Jeff and Derf, I believe that Slurp's a pro. I suspect that in real life he can restrain himself to at least some degree, and so comes across as being rather more plausible than he does online. Remember: he's not dealing with "respectable" people; what do they care about his weird posts, as long as he can deliver? I suspect he can offer proof of his abilities.
I doubt that what he does has much to do with his posts; like Liz, I believe his job is to unload large quantities of stock. His posts are probably intended to keep those who've already bought from selling. He certainly seems to have ties to the management of several interrelated companies.
I don't believe that "Slurp", whether he's "Ed Thompson" or someone else, wrote all the posts generally considered to be his work. I've noticed that over the last year or so there's a distinct difference between the bulk of these and those that specifically address the stock in question. The latter seem to be written mostly during trading hours, and are meant to encourage people to buy, or at least not to sell
I think the late night rants about "Sally" and dozens of other posters are the work of one or more other people, chief among them All*n. After all, it's All*n, not Slurp, who's had the long-running battle with Chris. And All*n's slipped up a number of times, posting All*n type messages under "Slurp" aliases. These posts are almost exclusively personal attack, and rarely make more than casual reference to PCBM.
This could explain why "Slurp" seems to have been sending mixed messages in the last few days. All*n is now anti-PCBM; Slurp is still trying to convince people that everything's all right. Contemporaneously, All*n's making entirely implausible efforts to distance himself from Slurp, though for obvious reasons he isn't prepared to speak out against him.
That's pretty much what I think; all opinion, of course.
lol, no I don't remember any insults either...but thanks anyhow.
Thanks, Liz, no problem.
Isn't the Dark Side more fun?
His posts suggest that they didn't.
Not nearly enough.
I'll accept his loss of face and cash and reputation amongst family and peers as his penalty for foolishness.
Dunno about that, but he was lying most outrageously when he claimed last night that he'd only emailed Slurp ONCE.
Anyone out there have proof that allan is lying again?.....
hmmm...
I don't think investors could get a hold of Hall or Turino if their life depended on it.
I agree. But Hooch claims he's spoken with Hall recently. Of course he also claims he talks to Mr Lobster every Saturday morning.
Is this true? Why would either of them want to talk to Hooch?
He lies like a rug.
But is All*n's story true? He's forever playing the victim. If he had good sense, he'd just disappear from the boards, as he's promised to do so many times.
lol...
Flecksy in my opinion, still has the audacity to not take responsibility for his actions!
What I find most amazing (and amusing) about Flex is that he seems to think PCBM is unique. In reality, of course, it's exactly like a zillion other penny scams. As a number of other posters pointed out, the SEC very clearly warns investors about messing with the pennies, and in the case of PCBM they made that warning very specific when they suspended and sued the company and its officers. Yet Flexy and many others continued to buy.
This isn't the fault of the SEC; the problem is the truly incredible stupidity of people who thought it was a good idea to load up on stock in a company the SEC said had committed fraud.
It also makes me laugh to see posters complaining that it's outrageous for Donaldson and others to have to ask advice about how to regulate the pennies. lol, the OTCBB is about as familiar to them as a crack house in the South Bronx.
lol, it's a pretty long story, and I haven't followed all of it.
i need a joe lanza primer.
I first encountered the Lanzas back in 1998 or 1999, when OMOG had a ticker I can't at the moment remember. At that time, the idea was for Joe's wife Jayne to make tons of money publishing a glossy magazine for women. She actually did produce the magazine, and apparently it was okay. But she stiffed the contract employees while living in grand style, and there were a lot of other problems.
Meanwhile, Joe went to prison (I think for tax evasion, though he's been up on criminal charges on other occasions) and he and Jayne got divorced. Probably that was just for asset protection; they seem still to be together, though I haven't been reading along for several years.
Suddenly Jayne announced that the "company" had bought some oil leases in Texas. This was at least two years ago. She changed the company name to OMDA. I think we can assume that what Jayne knows about oil leases can be inscribed on the head of a pin. But for awhile there was a nice pump.
I really don't know what's going on now, but whatever it is, I shouldn't think it'll turn out well for shareholders. See if you can find the Silicon Investor thread; there were (and probably still are) quite a few bashers who were pretty knowlegeable.
LOLOLOL!!
He also made comments about my multi-racial background, which was found on genealogy sites.
HUH??? Who did? Who cares?
I asked on-line, what was happening and if there were individuals who were shorting securities.
Right, Linda. You solicited personal information about people you erroneously believe to be "paid bashers" working from some sort of international syndicate. How stupid is THAT?
I was told by some anonymous person Fung Derf with Fidelity, perhaps in Las Colinas, Texas, may know. On this board, there have been allegations by others that this Fung Derf character may have something to do with Fidelity. What, I don't know. And what the connection between my social investment and Pinnacle and some Fung Derf who may be with Fidelity...except that he was known to encourage others to invest in those securities.
You need serious meds, Linda.
An individual named Mallocio della streta (thanks to Janice Shell, was interpreted in perfect Italian...
Except you STILL can't get it right, can you? "Malocchio della strega." Write that a thousand times on the blackboard.
There have been two telephone calls with veiled threats and which were intimidating, at best. It is believed these calls were provoked by actions of Shell.
Watch your mouth, Linda. That's defamatory.
And, Janice Shell has been sued for this previously. The SAME pattern of behavior is occurring as what has occurred from others, on the same mediums, the same bulletin boards.
Yup. I've been sued by whackjobs. Nothing new in that. I'm sure you meant to say "media".
And, somehow, nobody seems to "get it."
Nope, you don't, and probably never will do.
So....what attorney are you representing?
And--this is a familiar theme--how'd you happen on the PCBM thead in the first place?
Do you know Allan Treffry? How did Wendy Gordon Dworken get in touch with you more than two months ago, and why?
You seem to feel you have the right to demand answers of others, but you're very reluctant to reply to questions asked by the people you've chosen to attack.
Why is that, Linda?
Damm. Hope she didn't get tossed.
Where is she? When will she appear?
How very interesting.....
What's your guess? Will the "codicil" be 3000 words, or 5000 words?
The similarities are remarkable. BUT the person who called my former attorney was a woman. Not that that necessarily means anything.
He said she seemed "odd".
Oh, I get it now. You don't HAVE an attorney.
just how many books did you state have been written about you...
None, nor have I ever claimed that was the case. I was "featured" in a chapter of John Emswhiller's book. I've also written several books of my own, but that's neither here nor there.
...how many press releases have you granted....
How does one "grant" a press release? My name's appeared in some PRs, but they all had to do with art history books and exhibitions in Italy. No, I didn't save copies.
...and how many articles have you repeatedly told me to read about you?
I never gave you a number. I don't keep a clippings book.
Another strikeout, Linda. You got everything wrong. Again. And you won't even be able to reply to this till the stroke of midnight (ET) tomorrow.
I'm very very tired of people like you, Linda. You appear on the message boards, start making wild accusations, then threats. You get nearly all your "information" wrong, but castigate people for correcting you. Anyone who doesn't fall on his or her knees before you is perforce the Enemy. And then you start in with the lawsuit thing.
I'm sure there's a place for you, Linda, but it's not on IHub or Raging "Bowl". Who the hell do you think you are?
And while you're at it, Linda, don't forget that you've falsely accused me of actual criminal acts.
So why don't you cool your jets?
Linda, I suggest you speak with your OWN attorney, who'll tell you that my opinion of your professional abilities is not actionable.
Oh dear! What WILL the poor thing do?
LOLOLOLOLISSIMO!!
She has only one post left for today. Guess she'll have to make it especially long to address all the Important Issues that've been raised.
Where is linda?
Think all that may have something to do with the fact that Hall wasn't named in the SEC's suit?
I believe that is our Mr. Hall. He also went belly-up just pre-PCBM. I cna't figure out why Turino's future has turned rom a $44K house with a $39K mortgage to a house purchased for $950,000 cash and Hall seems to have stayed poor.
lol, I and others would certainly like to know...
Would you like to know my diagnosis of your posts and private messages?
Could you please translate this into English for me, Linda?
By the way, SI has both email addresses, as does Investors Hub AND Raging Bull...in fact, in e-mail with both of them the past week, they forwarded mail to and from those addresses.
And as for this...
the tendency to distort fact and to speculate is out of control.
...you're absolutely right. You need to stop.
Wait a minute, aren't most of the companies getting bashed those that would be bidding on federal contracts?
No. I can't imagine what would give you that idea.
hmmmm... Too much SlurpAll*n not good?
Wow, Linda... you have lost all grounding in reality.
lol, nice PAL!!
Sorry, Linda. I was never involved in litigation prior to the April Fool's Day incident.
I am aware of the 1999 lawsuits against her, as well as those in years passed.
As for this:
I am also aware of the FBI intervention after setting up a fraudulent company in 1999, as well.
There was no company, and so no fraud. For an investigator, you're remarkably disingenuous. If you'd read all the articles about Webnode, you'd know that everyone was aware from the outset that it was an April Fool's joke. Are you aware of the one the SEC pulled last year? Do a Google search for "McWhortle".
Yes, the idiots at Bizwire called the FBI. An agent called Jeff Mitchell, who explained. The agent laughed and said "I don't have time for this kinda shit", and that was the last anyone heard from him.
You really need to get a better grip on facts, all round.
lol, no kidding, I don't think Linda could detect an elephant in her living room.
Awww, c'mon. She's fun. I can't tell you how hard I laughed when she accused Huck of blackmailing her.
lol, thanks, KK. But she'll NEVER Get It.
WHAT?? BLACKMAIL???
Now, is the following intended to be some form of blackmail...see, I have told you on numerous occasions, when you and the others were attempting to blackmail me, by backgrounding my family...that I was not related to those individuals in any way except for having the same surname.
You need professional help, Linda.
HUH??? What's SI Bob got to do with any of this??
Your response sounds so very much like SIBob...
Guess you haven't read any of the articles that have been written about me, Linda. I don't do it for money; I do it for fun.
I've answered the questions you and others demanded..
No you haven't. You haven't explained how it was that Wendy Gordon got in touch with you more than two months ago, long before you registered this alias.
And I think that's what most people here are interested in.
